GEF-6 replenishment negotiations was concluded at the 4th meeting in Geneva, 16-17 April, 2014. On the occasion of this meeting, the GEF CSO Network makes the following statement based on GEF Secretariat documents, Programming Directions (GEF_R.6-Rev.04), March 31, 2014.

At the end of the meeting, the donors agreed to a replenishment amount of US$4.433 Billion for the next 4 years of GEF activities. This is about 3.5% higher than the GEF 5 replenishment. Although some countries were not able to pledge as much as in GEF 5 - others contributed more to make this modest increase in funding - which is above earlier expectations.
